Advocating for myself was something I had to figure out how to do and feel good about, and something I still work on. I definitely prefer speaking up for myself and asking for what I want over pushing my feelings down – and now it’s a muscle I don’t hesitate to flex.

Last month, I hosted my first ever event alongside one of my best friends, Natalie! We were sitting at her kitchen table co-working one day, and started talking about this idea of hosting a Galentine’s Day party. And it was so much fun!!

It’s so impactful to be able to hold your photos in your hands. It’s moving for me too, even after spending so many hours behind the computer perfecting them! The power of seeing photos of yourself printed is indescribable.

From dreaming of being a princess at 5 to playing detective and taking soil samples from our backyard to deciding to be an art teacher, it’s been a long road. I’m excited to be able to share it with you!

The investment in a session isn’t just for pretty pictures of yourself. It empowers you to live unapologetically, and the confidence that you gain from a session is something that you can’t put a price tag on.

The PSL is back, besties!! With Fall right around the corner, I wanted to look back at Summer and how good it was to me as well as look forward to what the end of the year will bring!

Whether absolutely necessary or just a nice addition, there’s a handful of those not-so-glamorous things that you’ll want to bring that aren’t always at the top of mind when preparing, but you’ll be so happy you brought them!

Though I love the spooky sessions with smoke bombs and witch hats, I’m a little more lowkey than that so I did some digging and curated this list of lingerie that I think would be purrrrrfect for your spooky season session!

This babe took the leap to connect with herself and learn how to love herself again, and one part of that journey was booking a boudoir session with me! After her session was over, she was gushing about her experience and had so many nice things to say about herself. That’s exactly what I want for you too!

When this babe booked her session, we had never met before. We had some mutual friends, and in the months leading up to her session we shared drinks and laughs and got to know each other through game nights with those mutual friends (who are also habitual clients of mine!) which was so nice!!

After a couple years of struggling to figure out how I wanted to facilitate the experience, I finally decided to take the leap with offering same day image reveals — and they are amazing!

Body neutrality is a step on my self-love journey, one that’s teaching me that how I look is the least interesting thing about myself. Self-love is a journey, and I hope to move from a place of neutrality to acceptance, to compassion, to confidence, to uninhibited love.

Your session, your photos, your BEING is incomparable. So why would your photos look like anyone else’s? Your session won't be like anyone else's because YOU are unlike anyone else and that’s what makes your photos so special.

I know that being in front of the camera can feel a little stressy for any kind of session (but especially boudoir!) so it’s important to choose a photographer who you trust. A boudoir session is a big deal, so you want to work with someone who treats it - and who treats you - like a big deal!

As I read what this beautiful client-friend wrote about how her boudoir experience impacted her, I felt tears welling up in my eyes. As they began to spill over, I got to the section where she told me — I cried as I stroked my hands down the page of this body of mine and said quietly, “this is me, and I am so beautiful.”
